AFC90SMZ Series – Single Axis Linear Motor Stage
Micromech supplies the Akribis AFC90SMZ Series single-axis linear motor stage, delivering high precision positioning, smooth motion control, and exceptional repeatability for demanding automation and manufacturing applications. Combining a direct drive linear motor, precision linear guide system, and integrated encoder feedback, the AFC90SMZ provides accurate and reliable motion without the maintenance associated with mechanical transmission systems.
The Akribis AFC90SMZ Series is a high-performance single-axis linear motor stage designed for applications requiring precise positioning, smooth motion and high dynamic performance. Its direct drive linear motor architecture eliminates mechanical transmission components such as ball screws and belts, providing zero backlash and reducing mechanical wear and maintenance requirements.
Designed for precision automation applications, the AFC90SMZ combines a compact stage configuration with high-speed operation and excellent positioning repeatability. Integrated encoder feedback and precision linear guidance provide accurate positioning and smooth, controlled motion across the stage travel.
The direct drive design enables rapid acceleration and precise velocity control, helping increase machine throughput while maintaining positioning performance. With fewer mechanical transmission components, the stage also offers improved reliability and reduced maintenance compared with conventional mechanically driven positioning systems.
Multiple travel lengths and performance configurations are available, enabling the AFC90SMZ to be matched to different machine requirements. The stage can be used as a standalone single-axis positioning system or incorporated into multi-axis motion platforms for more complex automation applications.
Typical applications include semiconductor manufacturing, electronics assembly, inspection and measurement equipment, precision assembly machinery, laser processing, pick-and-place systems, medical device manufacturing and laboratory automation.
Micromech supplies the Akribis AFC90SMZ Series single-axis linear motor stage as part of its range of linear motors, positioning stages and complete precision motion control solutions for UK OEMs and machine builders.
